How could she even spend her honeymoon with Lean? Sometimes thinking about that makes Avelyn wonder, is actually her husband Elvis or Lean?

Avelyn got mad at herself for remembering that. Moreover, last night she had passed quite a long night with Elvis. The man presses her to tell who Michael is. The man who Elvis thought was her ex-husband, even though Michael was her brother-in-law. Yeah, Avelyn having no choice but to come up with a childlike story to make Elvis believe in her.

Within a week of her marriage, Avelyn had broken the first rule in a household relationship. An honest!

It would be very painful for Elvis

    Avelyn sighed out the number of times she waited for Lean to speak to him. They had been on this patio for more than thirty minutes. The patio of a fancy restaurant that Lean ordered with great emotion to the receptionist. Really Avelyn didn't know why Lean's mood had gotten this bad. Even before the shoot started, the man was still so calm and enjoying his attitude that managed to make Avelyn stiffen. But after Avelyn was done with her shoot an hour and a half later, Lean suddenly stopped his car right in front of Avelyn's body who was standing on the road, then told the woman to get into the car with a flat face. "Are you going to...." "I have more than five businesses I need to take care of, Avelyn." Cut Lean quickly with a hiss. "Okay Mr. Busy!" Avelyn replied loudly as she rested her hands on the table to support her head. She was tired of waiting for the man to chat with his interlocutor who occasionally accompanied the loud voice of Lean because he was angry or maybe disapp

    Silence engulfed them for a moment. Somehow she had to face the statement Lean had thrown at her. Lean's face now felt unattractive in her eyes. Not that Lean had just told her any of his secrets... or maybe it was a disgrace. She have no idea. What was clear was that Avelyn felt that looking at Lean's face now was not a good choice. Apart from being confused about how to respond to that man's statement, she also didn't know what to do in front of Lean. If she shows a sympathetic face, he may become even angrier because she feels pity. After all, a man has a sky-high ego that is very difficult to break. And if he had told her the darkest secret that man had, it could be because Lean wanted something from her. "Are you surprised?" "A little. What happened to you?" "Accident." "Oh, sorry. I don't mean to make you have to remember that bad incident. But what is clear, I'm confused to react in front of you. I'm afraid you will be offended." "Yes. Since you laughed earlier, I've been

    Avelyn was still on her stomach as the cell phone she had placed on the nightstand near her bed kept ringing. Avelyn lazily grabbed a pillow and stuffed her ears with the thick, but soft pillow to block out the sound of her cell phone. Today she doesn't want to pick up phone calls from anyone. At eight o'clock she had gotten a call from Winnie, Lean's secretary, if she was asked to come to the office at nine. But now the clock has shown half past nine. She did not want to fulfill that request. After all, why would she go to the office if she had just finished a photo shoot yesterday. As far as she knew there was no new shooting schedule for today. And Avelyn assumed he was making excuses to meet her. Yesterday's incident probably left Lean wondering and wanted to clarify it directly to her. But she was reluctant to do so because she did not know the reason behind her yesterday's stupid attitude. Suddenly Lean kissed her, the memory of Michael jostled back into her brain, and then she

    Twenty-three minutes later Avelyn arrived at Lean's office in a mess. What a mess she is this afternoon because she has to go up to Lean's office using the stairs. She should be able to arrive in exactly twenty minutes as she promised him. But because the elevator was too full, and she was in a hurry, she was forced to do the foolish thing by walking up seven floors using stairs. And because of all that mess, Avelyn looks pretty messy from head to toe. Her fine hair started to sweat and get greasy. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat so profusely that it ran down the side of her face. And when she arrived at the seventh floor she was panting for breath. "Have you arrived?" Avelyn glared at Lean. When she entered the room, he was busy calling and only glanced at her. Her presence this afternoon was not appreciated at all. Even though earlier she only got dressed and took a shower within seven minutes. The rest she does everything in the car. Including eating a sandwich that

    Letha is sorting out shampoo and detergent in minimarket. Since moving to LA, this is the first time Letha take Hill to shop at the convenience store near her apartment.

When she was busy sorting things out, Hill was busy running around showing the items he wanted to put in the cart. Fortunately, Letha's one loud shake succeeded in making the boy silent and did not dare to ask for anything. But his active stance that keeps running here and there makes Letha really dizzy.

What happens if she really lives with Lean, and then that man suddenly has a woman he likes and wants to have? S

    Lean nailed his gaze only on the busy street in front of him. He avoided Avelyn and all the things she wanted to talk about as much as possible. He didn't want to talk about anything now. He wasn't in the mood for that. But how much longer would Avelyn be able to stop herself from talking to him? Since then Avelyn immersed herself in the music on her headset. Just now Avelyn took off her headset and stretched her arms in the air to squirm like a cat from getting tired of their long journey. So she'll definitely be discussing Hill in a bit. "Would you like something to drink?" Avelyn took a plastic bag of their food in the passenger seat. She rummaged through the plastic for a bottle of diet soda, and then turned to Lean, who had been silent all this time. "Aren’t you thirsty? You haven't had anything to drink since." "Mineral water please." Avelyn hasn't commented on his weirdness yet. But she will do it after this. "I can change you driving if you're tired." "I'm fine." Avely

    "I booked two rooms." "Sorry, we only have one room left." "Then it won't work. Let's go." "I'll book that one room." "What are you doing?" Avelyn glared at Lean who was doing a deal with the motel clerk. Anxiously, she stuffed her hands into her trousers pockets, then looked at the motel clerk who happened to be a woman with glasses with a fierce gaze. "This is all that's left, you can't force your will, Ave." "Let's find another motel!" said Avelyn stubbornly. "The next motel is seven miles from here." Quick as lightning Avelyn cast a glare at the woman which implied that she wasn't asking her to speak, so why was she talking. Feeling stared at her very fiercely, the woman became afraid and immediately busied herself with the guest book which she tried to flip through to fill the void of time. "Did you hear that? Seven miles! I'm not sure we'll get there whole without the storm. Or if you are desperate to go there, it might just be your head or your body that will get there

    Lean smiled faintly as he felt Avelyn's body next to him. That naive woman was not as tough as he thought. Still she will give in to her ego and decide to sleep next to him because that woman must be just as tired as himself. But it was funny to think of Avelyn who was now next to him. Did he ever think he would do this with Avelyn when Michael was around? Of course the answer is no! In fact he never bothered to deal with the fierce Avelyn. Slowly Lean moved closer to Avelyn, eroding the distance between them and removing Avelyn's ridiculous barrier. Think about barrier like that is only made for toddlers, not grown men with a passionate desire to touch women. Silly woman. In an instant Lean was very close to Avelyn. The tips of Avelyn's wavy hair tingled on Lean's face who craved a woman's touch. How long had he not been this close to a woman? Lean groaned silently as he felt Avelyn's warmth in his palm. He thought, this is fun. It was his inferiority complex that made him afraid to

    The halls were full and bustling with Royale High School students. Avelyn walked as usual down the hallway, ignoring the scornful stares of her friends. Isn't that normal? Avelyn thought sarcastically. For almost three years, she had always received the same gaze from them. So this is no longer a problem for her. But is she sure that this is not a problem? A student suddenly blocked her way. He looked at her body with an impolite look, then suddenly gripped her chin with a painful grip. "Let me go!" Avelyn hissed sarcastically. As far as she knew she had never had any business with the dark curly-haired student. But she knew what his name was, Hudson. That boy had never bothered her, at least as long as she was with Michael. Only a fool would dare to deal with Michael. Unfortunately not anymore. Avelyn wasn't part of Michael anymore, ever since she slapped the man for her lecherous act. Their relationship was practically broken. Michael didn't come to her often in class anymore to d

    Avelyn hesitated to ring the bell in front of her. But this is the only chance she has so she can be free from Michael who has been looking for her since five days ago. Her flight from that man was not time to stop. She had to keep moving in order to avoid Michael's hired spies whom he had seen in the various places he had been. This morning when she came out of her rented apartment on the outskirts of LA, she saw a man with glasses standing reading a newspaper across the street, right in front of her apartment window. Of course she wouldn't be as paranoid as it if the man she saw this morning was not the same as the man she saw yesterday while having lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Without any hesitation, Avelyn was sure that this man was the spy Michael sent to find her. But to hell with that guy. After she was sure that her position was known, she just walked out of the apartment, speeding fast right in front of the man using her sports car which she happened to be able to rely o

Since his wife and child died, Elvis has continued to make himself like a robot who has absolutely no thought for his own health. Now at the age of fifty-three, Elvis looked so pale, his cheekbones protruded horribly because of his thin body. Her eyeballs, once brilliant green, had faded to a cloudy green from looking at the computer too much. Elvis's pale skin looked wrinkled here and there because of the effects of the hard drugs he had been consuming. Although he never considered his heart disease to be a serious disease, he occasionally took medication to survive. He needs to endure until he finds the right person to replace him. There are thousands of employees who survive from the business he started. If he dies, then who will be responsible for them?

    There is no worse day than today. Avelyn felt so bad he felt like crying. Really she hates being in the silence without anyone who will hold it. Rebecca here couldn’t help calm her down. And she also didn't want to keep bothering Rebecca just to hear all her sad story. She was an adult, married, but her heart and mind felt completely immature. Until now she hasn't even tried to fix the problem with Elvis. Her ego is really too high just to just contact Elvis, then invite the man to talk nicely. And because of that now Avelyn was sad. All day, after she came home from McDonalds feeling annoyed with Tobbie, she just stayed home without doing anything. Many times Magda knocked on her door, reminding her to eat, but she always refused on the grounds that she was full. But that's exactly what happened. She is full of the problems that have befallen her. This impulsive marriage in fact tortured her and made her heart waver. It is undeniable that her recent closeness with Lean has influence

    Lean stroked the top of Hill's head affectionately. Just as he expected, Hill was still sick and not completely healed. After an hour of playing in the park, Hill has now fallen asleep on his shoulders. That kid was not as active as usual. When he tried to impress Hill with his basketball skills, the boy just clapped his hands without showing any enthusiasm. But whatever it was, Lean felt relieved that Hill was doing well. It only takes a little more time to rest, medicine, and nutritious food, and Hill will soon recover from illness. "Oh, I was just about to catch up with you." Letha looked surprised when Lean suddenly stood behind her who had just locked the apartment door. Seeing Hill sleeping comfortably on Lean's shoulder, Letha hurriedly opened the door to her apartment again and immediately opened the door wide for Lean. "Your friend is home?" “Yes, ten minutes ago. After clearing the glasses and plates, I intend to catch up with you. Is he a bother?" Letha led Lean to Hill

    There was nothing Avelyn could do today. After returning from Lean's apartment, she found her house quiet as usual. Elvis is not home. Yeah, of course that guy couldn't be home at ten like this. It is certain that Elvis is currently struggling at his office desk to sign the dozens of files that come and go on his desk. Thinking about Elvis getting longer, it made Avelyn even more annoyed. The cold war that occurred between them actually made their household unclear like this. Even last night Elvis didn't contact her at all. Even though when Avelyn activated her cellphone this morning, she hoped Elvis would call her, looking for her with a panicked face while praying non-stop throughout the night, asking God for her safety. But all she got when her white cellphone was completely turned on was a pile of emails from credit cards, from the legality agency Lean who sent her a copy of the employment contract, then a few missed calls from Becca. In addition, there were absolutely no calls

    Letha rested on her chin in Hill's room while accompanying the boy to play with his dinosaurs. It had been quite a while since Tatyana had said goodbye to go out with her boyfriend. Her heart had been wondering whether Lean would come to see his child? Is Lean willing to leave the pleasures that woman offers in his apartment? The more she thought about it, Letha's head grew dizzy and her heart pounded. She can't just keep expecting a man who clearly doesn't expect her anymore. This is her fault. The other side of her was sneering while laughing at her old foolishness. She was too arrogant when Lean volunteered take responbility to his past. And at that time, when Lean was staying at her house in Tacoma, Lean said he wanted to make a whole family for Hill. The man wanted to fulfill the dream of children in general who always wanted a warm family with a complete father and mother. How he hated himself, who at Hill's age could not feel a normal family life, so he didn't want something

    Avelyn closed the door to Lean's apartment and stayed where she was with a frown as she stared at the door. Just now Letha came. But he thought the woman looked strange. Her face showed both nervousness and surprise when she saw her open the door. Avelyn then glanced at her own appearance from top to toe, at her bare feet. Instantly she patted herself on the forehead and voiced some curses for the stupidity she had done this morning. Really she didn't mean to misunderstand her. No wonder Letha immediately looked pale after seeing her come out to open the door. her appearance this morning really couldn't be said to be appropriate. She thought she was still wearing her wet dress last night because she didn't even check her appearance before getting out of bed. Moments ago she was awakened by the disturbing sound of the bell from the front door. She saw Lean sleeping soundly on the sofa, made her feel so sorry that she decided to open the door without waking Lean. Seeing the man so guar

    All night Lean has to keep Avelyn from being unconscious. In a panic, Lean decided to take Avelyn to his apartment. It was completely unthinkable in Lean's mind to take Avelyn to the hospital because he was too worry about Avelyn's situation. Plus, if he took Avelyn to the hospital, it would only create a scene. In this city, even though people are indifferent to each other, there is still a sly paparazzi who likes to take advantage of the situation. So in the end Lean turned the steering wheel toward his apartment and immediately lifted Avelyn outside as soon as they reached the basement of the lonely apartment. One of the things he is grateful for about the apartment, they prioritize a very strict privacy system. None of the spies managed to infiltrate the apartment to extract information that the owner of the information did not allow. After Lean managed to bring Avelyn to his room, the man immediately laid Avelyn carefully on the bed and took a towel to dry Avelyn's drenched body
